My Name is John Merrick

Today is the beginning of a new life or so I believe.  I was rescued by Dr. Frederick Treves, he is the real hero.  In the morning I went to a room full of doctors that hopefully are able to cure me.  They opened the curtain and I was revealed to the men.  "Turn around," Treves demanded.  I hate those words, I am not a freak. I was not put on this planet for everyones convenience. I am not an animal. I am a human being. I am a man! I leave the room to get home to Mr. Bytes.  He demanded to know where I was, but I did not speak a word to him.  He started hitting me as if I was some sort of animal.  I felt weak and horrible.  The little boy leaves to get help out there, while I wait at home with Mr. Bytes. The little boy gets home with Dr. Frederick Treves, my fellow hero.  He takes me out of that place immediately as he notices that I am not treated fairly.  I am now settled in the watch tower, hopefully my friend, Dr. Frederick Treves can cure me.

  1. Good details! You certainly set up what John Merrick’s expectations may have been during that turbulent time in his life. Good!
